Creating an Accounts Receivable Voucher
When you are affecting a GL account that is identified as an A/R account in the special accounts configuration, a customer number must be input on the voucher screen to keep the AR subledger in balance. In simple terms, the dealer owes money to an account that could be an internal or external customer. Possible scenarios include:
-
The customer is both a vendor and a customer of the dealer, where the voucher offsets outstanding balances.
-
A warranty is tracked to a customer account where a pending credit is coming from the vendor that needs to be applied to an outstanding receivable.
-
The voucher is used to impact both receivables and payables.
-
You need to apply payment to a customer account but the A/R period is closed, so you use this procedure to adjust the GL date.
